Abstract

The invention relates to a film made of plastic having at least one mineral additive, wherein capillaries are formed through expansion at phase transition limits between the plastic and the mineral additives. Said film forms a laminate in conjunction with a plastic non-woven fabric, the laminate remaining in an expanded state. The plastic film and non-woven fabric materials display the same or substantially similar plastic expansion characteristics.

Description

Folie aus Kunststoff mit mineralischen Zusatzstoffen, Verfahren zu deren Herstellung sowie Verwendung der FoliePlastic film with mineral additives, process for their production and use of the film
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Folie aus Kunstoff mit mineralischen Zusatzstoffen, ein Verfahren zu deren Herstellung sowie eine Verwendung der Folie .The invention relates to a film made of plastic with mineral additives, a process for their production and use of the film.
Folien mit mineralischen Zusatzstoffen sind bekannt, um poröse Eigenschaften zu gewinnen. Die Porosität entsteht dadurch, daß bei Dehnung der Folie Phasenübergangsgrenzen zwischen dem Kunststoffmaterial und den mineralischen Zusatzstoffen aufreißen und so Kapillaren bilden.Films with mineral additives are known to gain porous properties. The porosity arises from the fact that when the film is stretched, phase transition boundaries between the plastic material and the mineral additives tear open and thus form capillaries.
Damit die Kapillaren in gewünschter Weise entstehen können, muß das Kunststoffmaterial plastisch sein, aber trotzdem eine gewisse Zähigkeit darbieten. Außerdem ist eine geringe Dicke der Folie nötig, so daß sich die Kapillaren auch von einer Seite zur anderen Seite der Folie erstrecken können. Derartige Folien besitzen nur eine geringe mechanische Festigkeit, denn gegenüber einer reinen Kunststoffolie, die im Vergleich zu faserigen Materialien ohnehin schon eine geringere Festigkeit besitzt, führt die Einbettung der mineralischen Zusatzstoffe mit der Neigung zum Aufreißen der Folie an den Phasenübergangsgrenzen zu einer weiteren Schwächung der mechanischen Festigkeit.In order for the capillaries to form in the desired manner, the plastic material must be plastic, but still have a certain toughness. In addition, a small thickness of the film is necessary so that the capillaries can also extend from one side to the other side of the film. Such films have only a low mechanical strength, because compared to a pure plastic film, which already has a lower strength compared to fibrous materials, the embedding of the mineral additives with the tendency to tear the film at the phase transition limits further weakens the mechanical Strength.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Folie und ein Verfahren zu deren Herstellung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die mechanische Festigkeit wesentlich erhöht wird sowie eine Verwendung für eine derartige Folie anzugeben. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Folie nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, bei einem Verfahren zu deren Herstellung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 10 und bei einer Verwendung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 13 und 14 durch die im jeweiligen Kennzeichen angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The invention has for its object to improve a film and a method for its production in such a way that the mechanical strength is significantly increased and to indicate a use for such a film. This object is achieved in a film according to the preamble of claim 1, in a method for its production according to the preamble of claim 10 and when used according to the preamble of claims 13 and 14 by the features specified in the respective characterizing part.
Die wesentliche Verbesserung der mechanischen Festigkeit der Folie wird durch das Laminat aus Vlies und Folie erreicht. Dabei werden die günstigeren mechanischen Eigenschaften einer Faserstruktur mit ausgenutzt. Die gleichen oder annähernd gleichen Dehnungseigenschaften von Vlies und Folie gewährleisten, daß bei auch nach der notwendigen Verstreckung der Verbund von Vlies und Folie erhalten bleibt, also eine Ablösung an den Prägemarken oder Reißen der Fasern oder Folie vermieden wird. Da die Fasern des Vlieses bei Vers reckung kristallisieren, nimmt ihre Festigkeit durch den zur Bildung der Kapillaren notwendigen Verstreckungsvorgang zu.The essential improvement in the mechanical strength of the film is achieved by the laminate of fleece and film. The more favorable mechanical properties of a fiber structure are also exploited. The same or approximately the same elongation properties of the nonwoven and the film ensure that the bond between the nonwoven and the film is retained even after the necessary stretching, that is to say that the embossing marks or tearing of the fibers or film are prevented from detaching. Since the fibers of the fleece crystallize during stretching, their strength increases due to the stretching process necessary to form the capillaries.
Trotz der plastischen Eigenschaften von Vlies und Folie ergeben sich nach dem Verstreckungsvorgang geringe Rückstellkräfte, die zwischen den Prägemarken zu einem Aufbauschen und einer Faltenlegung der Folie führen. Diese Falten stellen Sollknickstellen dar, was sich in der Weise positiv auswirkt, daß Knittergeräusche im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Folien vermieden oder wesentlich gedämpft werden. Ferner ergibt sich durch das Vlies ein textiler Charakter, der sich sowohl optisch als auch vom Griff und der Hautverträglichkeit her positiv auswirkt. Auch das Aufbauschen der Folie verändert in positiver Weise deren Oberflächenstruktur und trägt auch zur Volumenvergrößerung bei. Da textile Materialien grundsätzlich flüssigkeitsdurchlässig sind, wird die atmungsaktive Eigenschaft der Folie durch die Kombination mit dem Vlies nicht beeinträchtigt .Despite the plastic properties of the nonwoven and the film, there are low restoring forces after the stretching process, which lead to a bulging and folding of the film between the stamping marks. These folds represent predetermined kinks, which has a positive effect in that crinkling noises are avoided or significantly dampened in comparison to conventional foils. Furthermore, the fleece gives it a textile character, which has a positive effect both visually and in terms of feel and skin tolerance. The puffing up of the film also changes its surface structure in a positive way and also contributes to an increase in volume. Since textile materials are generally permeable to liquids, the breathable property the film is not affected by the combination with the fleece.
Durch unterschiedliche Stärke der Verstreckung können die Atmungseigenschaften des Laminats verändert werden. Verwendet werden kann das so gewonnene Laminat im hygienischen und medizinischen Bereich sowie im Baubereich.The breathability of the laminate can be changed by varying the stretching strength. The laminate obtained in this way can be used in the hygienic and medical fields as well as in the construction sector.
Bei einer ersten Ausführung besteht das Laminat aus einer Folienschicht und einer Vliesschicht und weist ein Flächengewicht kleiner als 20 Gramm pro Quadratmeter auf. Hierdurch entsteht ein Laminat, das sehr leicht und dünn ist, wodurch die Steifigkeit des Laminats gering gehalten werden kann. Ferner ist bei diesem Flächengewicht das Laminat durch seine geringe Dicke vielseitig verwendbar, beispielsweise für Windeln oder zur Textilveredelung. Der geeignete Flächenstrek- kungsfaktor beträgt 2 bis 3,5. Hiermit ergeben sich sehr gute atmungsaktive Eigenschaften.In a first embodiment, the laminate consists of a film layer and a fleece layer and has a weight per unit area of less than 20 grams per square meter. This creates a laminate that is very light and thin, whereby the rigidity of the laminate can be kept low. Furthermore, with this basis weight, the laminate is versatile due to its small thickness, for example for diapers or for textile finishing. The suitable area extension factor is 2 to 3.5. This results in very good breathable properties.
Bei einer zweiten Ausführung besteht das Laminat aus einer Folienschicht und zwei Vliesschichten, die auf beiden Seiten der Folienschicht angeordnet sind und ein Flächengewicht von 50 bis 100 g, vorzugsweise 80 g pro Quadratmeter aufweist. Dieses Material ist besonders stabil und reißfest. Der geeignete Flächenstreckungsfaktor beträgt 1,5 bis 2,5. Dieser Wert sorgt für gute atmungsaktive Eigenschaften.In a second embodiment, the laminate consists of a film layer and two non-woven layers, which are arranged on both sides of the film layer and have a weight per unit area of 50 to 100 g, preferably 80 g per square meter. This material is particularly stable and tearproof. The suitable area factor is 1.5 to 2.5. This value ensures good breathable properties.
Als Kunststoffgrundstoffe eignen sich Polyethylen und Polypropylen sowie Copolymere. Als mineralische Zusatzstoffe kommen z. B. Bariumsulfat, Kalziumkarbonat oder Silikate in Betracht. Diese Stoffe wurden als geeignet ermittelt, für ein kontrolliertes Aufreißen der Folie an den Phasenübergangsstellen zwischen mineralischen Stoffen und Kunststoffen zu sorgen. Außerdem sind diese Stoffe gesundheitlich unbedenklich.Polyethylene and polypropylene as well as copolymers are suitable as plastic raw materials. As mineral additives such. B. barium sulfate, calcium carbonate or silicates. These substances were determined to be suitable for controlled tearing of the film at the phase transition points between mineral substances and plastics to care. In addition, these substances are harmless to health.
Bei dem Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Laminats aus einer Folie und einem Vlies können diese zunächst getrennt hergestellt und zwischengelagert oder auch gemeinsam hergestellt, zusammengeführt und mittels eines thermischen Prägeverfahrens durch Kalanderwalzen fixiert werden. Alternativ ist auch eine Verbindung zwischen Folie und Vlies durch Verkleben möglich. Danach wird das Laminat entsprechend der gewünschten Porengröße verstreckt.In the process for producing a laminate from a film and a nonwoven, these can first be produced separately and temporarily stored or also produced together, brought together and fixed by means of a thermal embossing process by means of calender rolls. Alternatively, a connection between the film and the fleece is also possible by gluing. The laminate is then stretched according to the desired pore size.
Es kann vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Folie während des Herstellungsprozesses direkt in der schmelzflüssigen Phase mit dem Vlies unter Aufbringung von mechanischen, aerodynamischen elektrostatischen Kräften zusammengefügt wird.It can be advantageous if the film is joined to the nonwoven directly in the molten phase during the production process with the application of mechanical, aerodynamic electrostatic forces.
Eine Folie als Laminat mit einer Vliesschicht und einem Flächengewicht kleiner als 20 Gramm pro Quadratmeter sowie einem Flächenstreckungsfaktor zwischen 2 bis 3,5 kann als Außenhaut einer Windel, als Opera ionstuch oder als Abdecktuch eingesetzt werden. Dieser Einsatz wird durch das geringe Flächengewicht bei gleichzeitig hoher Stabilität, durch die Wasserdichtigkeit aber hohe Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit und die atmungsaktiven Eigenschaften begünstigt. Außerdem ist das Laminat dicht für Bakterien oder Viren.A film as a laminate with a non-woven layer and a basis weight of less than 20 grams per square meter and an area stretching factor between 2 to 3.5 can be used as the outer skin of a diaper, as a surgical cloth or as a drape. This use is favored by the low basis weight with high stability, the waterproofness but high water vapor permeability and the breathable properties. The laminate is also impervious to bacteria or viruses.
Eine Folie als Laminat mit zwei Vliesschichten und einem Flächengewicht zwischen 50 und 100 g pro Quadratmeter sowie einem Flächenstreckungsfaktor zwischen 1,5 bis 2,5 kann als Dachunterspannbahn eingesetzt werden. Die beiden Vliesschichten ergeben hier eine besonders hohe Stabilität. Gleichzeitig ist eine Wasserdichtigkeit aber Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit gewährleistet .A film as a laminate with two non-woven layers and a basis weight between 50 and 100 g per square meter and a surface stretching factor between 1.5 and 2.5 can be used as a roofing membrane. The two layers of fleece provide particularly high stability here. At the same time a watertightness but water vapor permeability is guaranteed.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. In dieser ist ein schematischer Schnitt durch ein Laminat nach der Erfindung dargestellt .The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. This shows a schematic section through a laminate according to the invention.
Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Laminat aus einer Folie 10 und einem Vlies 12. Die Folie 10 besteht aus Polyethylen oder Polypropylen mit mineralischen Zusatzstoffen 14. Die Folie 10 kann dabei durch ein an sich bekanntes Folienziehverfahren erzeugt werden, wobei als Basismaterial Kunststoff dient, der mit den mineralischen Zusatzstoffen vermischt wurde. Das Vlies 12 kann durch ein Spinnvliesverfahren oder ein Schmelzblasverfahren hergestellt werden.The drawing shows a laminate of a film 10 and a nonwoven 12. The film 10 consists of polyethylene or polypropylene with mineral additives 14. The film 10 can be produced by a film drawing process known per se, plastic being used as the base material, which is used with the mineral additives were mixed. The nonwoven 12 can be produced by a spunbonded process or a meltblown process.
Vlies 12 und Folie 10 werden, nachdem sie aufeinander gelegt wurden, durch ein thermisches Prägeverfahrens mit Kalanderwalzen verbunden und anschließend verstreckt. Durch die Ver- streckung reißen die Phasenübergangsgrenzen zwischen den Einlagerungen der mineralischen Zusatzstoffe und des Kunststoffes auf, wobei sich Kapillaren 16 bilden. Diese Kapillaren 16 haben die Eigenschaft, daß sie lediglich atomare Stoffe hindurchlassen, während sie Stoffe aus größeren molekularen Verbänden sperren. Fleece 12 and film 10, after they have been placed on top of one another, are connected to calender rolls by a thermal embossing process and then stretched. As a result of the stretching, the phase transition boundaries between the deposits of the mineral additives and the plastic tear open, with capillaries 16 being formed. These capillaries 16 have the property that they only allow atomic substances to pass through, while they block substances from larger molecular groups.
